Well Happy February out there to you all, just gotten through an unusually snowy last week here in Franklin on the farm and even though its still insanely cold outside, looks like shades might just be required.  My peeps at Ride have made great strides in working together in harmony and although we still manage to cough up the ball every now and then so to speak, and pound our own chests. Nevertheless, WE Are On Our Way To Uniformity!
 
Coming back from the Bob Hope I made a promise to myself that I would get back to an hours worth of practice on the links a day no matter what.  Well, that just hasn’t happened! There is work to do with Ride and our staff, songs to write and record (the fun part), a family to kiss on as much as I can before we hit the road again, life to live and problems to solve.  All which must come first.

We have consistently continued to grow the story of “Sunshine”, and our hopes are those into will carry the torch and its big ball of fierce fire into the hearts and souls of their listeners. So far we have seen this song do wonderful things.  Here are a couple quotes from radio stations from my soulful home state of Mississippi and our capital city Jackson, to the land of Bruce Springsteen and the Jersey shores.

“Sunshine puts a warm and bright spot on the air every time we play it, and, it's now the number 1 most requested song on The Afternoon Ride Request Hour, Steve knocked this one WAAAAAAAAAY out of the park”.

So watching the Super Bowl last night was surreal me. I grew up with The Saints as Our Team. Archie Manning was a kid from the Mississippi Delta who became a hero of all of kids from his days at Ole Miss and then New Orleans there after. We went through so many seasons of disappointment, Archie playing through all sorts of bumps, breaks and bruises, but remaining true to his black and gold and playing through it all. I found it ironic for Archie’s son Peyton to be the Goliath standing in the way of a Saints first Super Bowl victory. Who Dat say they gonna beat those Saints!!!! Lets just say no one knows how to throw a party like the city of New Orleans, and it will go on until kick off of next season.

Thanks for letting me talk sports again, always a good release for me.

Well keep the requests coming for “Sunshine”, and as always spread the word for us, be safe and look forward to the next time.

Steve
